When Sufar joined Qulok's Fist, he was on the run from Imperial bounty hunters who were tracking him after he had been exiled from his homeworld. The gang rescued him, then proceeded to assist Sufar in tracking down his assailants. Sufar then tortured the bounty hunters to death.[1]

Around 7 ABY, Qulok's Fist was engaged in a hunt on a backwater planet. The hunt took a turn for the worse, ending in a massacre at one of the world's settlements. Feeling guilty for his part in the slaughter, Thanis Gul-Rah left the group and retired to Kal'Shebbol, the capital of the Kathol sector. The rest of Qulok's Fist continued their activities, and, in 8 ABY, they found a new benefactor in the shape of MoffKentor Sarne,[1] the Imperial warlord who ruled the Kathol sector in the wake of the fragmentation of the Empire.[2] Following the liberation of Kal'Shebbol in 8 ABY by New Republic forces, Sarne was forced to flee his capital. Learning that the New Republic had sent the CR90 corvetteFarStar after him, Sarne contracted Qulok's Fist to tail the ship and gather intelligence on their movements and goals for him. Sarne also gave them license to sabotage the ship's efforts if the opportunity arose.[1]

Several weeks into the FarStar's mission, Sarne contacted Qulok's Fist and contracted them to stage an assault on the corvette in orbit of the planet Shintel.[3] Sarne had arranged for a deep cover agent on the planet Gandle Ott, ColonelOlaver Lansel, to feed false information to the FarStar's crew that indicated that Sarne himself had traveled to Shintel.[4] The FarStar journeyed to the Shintel system and discovered that it was home to an outpost affiliated with the Moff, although one he had abandoned by destroying all hyperspace-capable ships and stranding the base personnel. CaptainKaiya Adrimetrum, commanding officer of the FarStar, agreed to an alliance with the base commander, ColonelHeget. In return for navigational data and information, Adrimetrum would provide Heget with transport to the Tanquilla Beachshadowport so that he could contact Imperial authorities.[3]

However, one member of the base's personnel was another deep cover agent of Sarne's. LieutenantPalme arranged for the navigational data to contain a trapdoor program when it was uploaded into the FarStar's computer systems. As the corvette broke orbit and engaged its hyperdrive, the trapdoor program triggered an overload in the FarStar's engines. The resulting explosion destroyed the hyperdrive, stranding the corvette. As planned, Qulok's Fist emerged from hyperspace in the Steel Fist, and conducted several attack runs on the ship. As the crew of the FarStar recovered from the initial sabotage and began to rally to the defense of the ship, Qulok's Fist broke off their attack and jumped to hyperspace.[3]

The members of Qulok's Fist, from left to right: Thanis Gul-Rah, Kolig, Padak, and Sufar

Qulok's Fist initially comprised four members: Thanis Gul-Rah, Kolig, Padak, and Sufar. This group was reduced to three when Gul-Rah left the group in 7 ABY, retiring to Kal'Shebbol after a hunt on a backwater planet ended in a massacre of a local settlement. All four were experienced bounty hunters and possessed a myriad of other skills, including piloting, demolitions, computer slicing, poisoning, and unarmed combat techniques among them.[1]

Thanis Gul-Rah was a soldier with the Imperial Army before joining Qulok's Fist, and served in the occupation of Siluria III. After leaving Qulok's Fist, Gul-Rah signed onto the crew of the FarStar on Kal'Shebbol when they put out a general call for civilians with combat or technical skills to augment the regular New Republic naval crew.[1] He found himself in the position of facing his former comrades during the engagement in the Shintel system.[3]

Kolig was the owner and operator of the modified YT-1300 light freighter Steel Fist, which served as the group's headquarters, transport, and main combat vessel. Dapper and presentable, Kolig was the unofficial leader of Qulok's Fist and often planned the operations they were contracted to perform. Padak was an armored bounty hunter who lived for the thrill of combat and relished every kill he made. Destructive and violent, he felt no remorse over the deaths he caused. Sufar was a murderer, exiled from his homeworld after killing several people. He was hunted by Imperial bounty hunters before joining Qulok's Fist, then used his membership in the organization to capture and torture his pursuers to death.[1]

Qulok's Fist appeared in The DarkStryder Campaign, a roleplaying game sourcebook published by West End Games. They were described in the Rogues Gallery of the book and were featured in the adventure Shintel Downtime. However, the organization and its members were given detailed backgrounds so that the Gamemaster could use them in original adventures if they wished.
